Film on JNU leader Chandrashekhar scrapped: director

Plans to make a biopic of slain JNU leader and activist Chandrashekhar Prasad have been scrapped after the film's makers and some students of the university failed to arrive at a consensus. Director Ajay Kanchan said the planned film, titled 'Chandu', faced oppositions from the JNU students who were consulted in order to gather facts about Prasad, who was shot dead in 1997 while addressing a gathering at Siwan in Bihar. "This was not a commercial venture for us. We were attempting a biopic on a contemporary figure and to know the facts about his life we had to rely on his friends and relatives. But unless we arrived at a consensus, we couldn't have made this film," Kanchan told
